For the Snoopy bookmakers. Also, discount Willie & Joe

The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library isn’t a book. Well, not yet. Instead, it’s a book kit, a big fabric panel with pages and instructions. With a little cutting and a little sewing, I can make my own soft book. Or, I suppose, a really weird-looking shirt. (And …

You Can Be Anything Cheap

The Peanuts kiddie hardcover You Can Be Anything is now available remaindered for 60% off the cover price. Now with remainders, I always warn that they may be marked with a remainder mark… but more and more, I’m finding that the copies from both Amazon and B&N aren’t marked, or …
